Improved pain endomyosis symptoms at the expense of mood. Still had issues with breakthrough bleeding but periods were better.

It is great overall, but I spot every month on days 14-19 like clockwork. I like the pill so I am hesitant to switch.

Start of it was great, made my periods less painful and lighter. After a while periods came back to lasting a long time, got extreme period pains, discharge in my nipple, blood clot in my leg and they said it was dangerous to continue it’s use since I’m a smoker.
